    I haven't seen Marilyn in years. I bowled with her years ago at Lucky Strikes. I have such great memories of her being such a fun, full of life person. She was competitive but all in fun. Prayers for her family to help them get through a sad time, but to always remember how many people were touched by her presence! Karen Mitchell. (Griffin)
